Fated To Three Betrayed By All Until She Rose (Leilani) by Ahvahh novel Chapter 373

Chapter 373: Another Valemont.

Leilani.

Whatever trust I had in the man disappeared into the wind as soon as he asked me that question.

Why?

Because it was obvious now that he knew me, and that all his pathetic attempts at appearing aloof yet nice was only a front. It was also obvious that he was only being kind to me because of the fact that he knows me! And that in itself was enough to have my blood boiling with rage.

Usually, I would’ve responded to him, especially since he has been my protector since last night; But for some reason, I couldn’t bring myself to speak. I couldn’t even bring myself to look at him as I turned away and lowered my head slightly.

"Do you know him as well?" He snapped at me, pulling me out to my reverie, and so help me goddess, this time, I couldn’t stop myself from rolling my eyes.

I do not even know why but at this moment, all I wanted was to be as far away from him as possible because my trust issues were already spiking high up into the heavens; But pushing those thoughts away, I cleared my throat and turned back to face him.

"No. Not personally." I hissed under my breath, the lie tasting like bile on my tongue. "I work in the next building."

"Oh." He sounded surprised— not like I care. "Well, I guess this is the part where we say our goodbyes."

Again, I wanted to roll my eyes at him but I didn’t because for some strange reasons, even now, my body still felt calm around him.

Still numb.

Still beautifully warm.

So I nodded. "Yes, once again, thank you Sir."

His eyes flashed then with a kind of knowing look, but beneath all the warmth and charm, I couldn’t help but feel his power, his aura and strength sizzling just beneath the surface, waiting to break out.

He was not a human.

Not a werewolf.

Probably a Lycan.

And to top it all... something about the cold calm surrounding him gave me the impression that he was stronger than Darius, stronger than most, and maybe even stronger than me.

"I should get going!" I rushed out, and with that, I began to walk away, ignoring the way his eyes drilled into my back like a thousand lasers all at once.

My heart raced so much, I feared I would pass out from all the panic. But I didn’t. Instead, I surged on, got into the next building which was a luxurious shopping complex— that I had pretended was my place of work, and I didn’t turn around to look in his direction until I was well past the double glass doors leading into the complex.

With my heart in my mouth, and I mean it quite literally, I then stumbled into one of the chairs at the reception area, watching his shiny convoy parked in front of Frostclaw. Inc and him until a few minutes later when a young woman suddenly approached me.
